In view of recent evidence for the endogenous synthesis of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) by pancreatic islets, we have assessed (1) the release of POMC-derived corticotropin (ACTH)-like peptides (ACTH-LP) from isolated perifused rat islets, and (2) the

The effect of Ca2+ on the extent and pattern of processing of pro-opiomelanocortin and an N-terminal fragment by a purified pituitary secretory vesicle, soluble aspartic endoprotease, was studied. Ca2+ stimulated the first cleavage of pro-opiomelanoc

The amino terminus of bovine pro-opiomelanocortin (N-POMC1–77) is partially processed in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary to N-POMC1–49 and lys-γ3 -melanotropin. Two pools of N-POMC1–77 were isolated which were differentially glycosylate

Using the peroxidase/antiperoxidase unlabeled antibody enzyme technique pituitaries of several vertebrate species: man, rat, pig, cat, duck, snake, toad, and fish immunostained with an antibody directed against a portion of the cryptic region of the

1. 1. The melanotropin-releasing activity of arginine-vasopressin (AVP), arginine-vasotocin (AVT), oxitocin (OT), mesotocin (MT) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) was studied in the duck using dispersed, perfused pituitary cells and a specific

Though birds lack the pars intermedia of the hypophysis, their pituitary glands do secrete MSH. This hormone and ACTH are elaborated in special cells of the pars distalis called corticomelanotrops. The present study was designed to ascertain whether

In order to investigate the role of N-terminal proopiomelanocortin (N-POMC) in adrenal regeneration after bilateral adrenal enucleation (hereafter referred to as enucleation) rats 13 days after enucleation were injected (200 μl s.c. plus 200 μl i.p

CRF-41 and vasopressin are the major part of the hypothalamic complex responsible for the release of ACTH. The potentiated response of the corticotroph to mixtures of the peptides and their co-localization in the same neurosecretory vesicles would in

1. 1. In order to evaluate cortico-melanotrophic cell activity in the duck pituitary. we have adapted a mammalian ACTH radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the estimation of duck ACTH released from duck pituitary tissue in vitro . 2. 2. The in vitro systems te

Although it was generally believed that corticotropin (ACTH) maintained both the size of the adrenal gland and its level of steroid production1, there is a growing body of evidence for a specific factor(s) distinct from ACTH which may be responsible
